Herbology in Potions Lesson 3: Hike

As much as Aria enjoyed being indoors in the Greenhouse, she wanted to do so much more than have them pick from the plants that were there. She wanted to challenge them and to get them out of that need to just get passable grades to keep going. It appalled her; especially when she remembered pushing to do everything right so she could get grades that would let her get her residence. But that was long ago she supposed. Shrugging it off, today she would do something different.

With a pair of jeans and a Beatles t-shirt, Aria looked the part of someone normal. Her professor cloak had been left in her house, and on her feet were a pair of converse. Not the best for hiking, but her most comfortable shoes. Her hair was up in a high ponytail and her face devoid of makeup. Smiling brightly, she took the change of season in stride, glad that the snow had been gone.

Waiting patiently she hoped they'd remembered the owl she had sent them, asking them to dress for the outdoors. Waiting patiently, she tapped her foot a smile still etched on her face.

Having received the owl to wear hiking gear, Ariel figured she would need a bit different shoes than what was normal. And clothes. So she took on training tights and a black tee with the words 'Tea is Me' on. She also grabbed a light jacket that was wind proofed. She really didn't feel like being cold. It was getting warmer, but the winds of Great Britain could be pretty darned cold still. She got into her trainers and then left the dormitory, wondering what this class would be about. She'd missed last class due to being completely exhausted, and she wasn't sure if the professor liked her much for that, but she was set on winning her over.

So she left in good time, so she wouldn't be late or anything. That would be embarrassing. She walked into the classroom and saw the professor. Ah, Ariel had probably overdressed. Seeing the jeans and converse the professor was wearing, Ariel guessed she could've left the tights and shoes at home and gone with something more casual. But at the same time, she did like these clothes; they were pretty darned comfortable. "Hi professor," she said softly, and sat down at one of the chairs, figuring it was ten more minutes until class started or something like that.

Wearing a pair of grey pants and a red T-shirt, Melody walked down to the greenhouse. She had guessed that the professor either wanted to show them something or have them collect something as she was sure they couldn't have a lesson that was just them going for a walk.

She greeted the professor when she walked in. She recognized the other girl there from previous classes although she didn't see her around very often. Melody sat down figuring the professor would wait for more of them to show up before starting.

She wondered if they would need hiking gear but decided that was unlikely. Endurance wasn't the point of the class, learning about potions was. She patiently waited for class to start.

Cassana woke up feeling entirely too out of sorts to dress in frilly cute outfits, rather she opted for something more casual. Half-awake she did the skinny jeans pants dance, glad that they were the muggles brilliant invention of leggings that looked like jeans "jeggings" (thank you jeans companies across America!) so she'd be flexible in them. Afterwards she was a little more awake so she pulled on a size larger than her small frame, a black and red plaid button up she tied the ends in a not where jeggings met torso, before slipping into socks and black combat boots. As a final aforethought, she tied her hair back from her face, slipping her wand into her pockets (thank Circe these things were nifty). Making her way out through the greenhouse and towards the hill she was glad she found the grouping of Potioneers.

"Good morning professor," Cassie greeted with a bright smile, before looking at her other students with equally bright greetings.
